"Joseph Sold into Slavery" is a panel from the famous "Gates of Paradise," a set of gilded bronze doors designed by the Italian Renaissance master Lorenzo Ghiberti for the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy. Created between 1425 and 1452, these doors are considered one of the masterpieces of Italian Renaissance art. The "Joseph Sold into Slavery" panel is one of ten rectangular panels depicting scenes from the Old Testament, which together showcase Ghiberti's innovative use of linear perspective and his ability to convey complex narratives within a single frame.

The panel illustrates the moment from the Book of Genesis when Joseph, favored by his father Jacob, is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Ghiberti's composition is notable for its dynamic arrangement of figures and the use of landscape to enhance the depth and realism of the scene. The artist's skill in casting techniques is evident in the intricate details of the figures' attire and the naturalistic textures of the environment.

Ghiberti's work on the "Gates of Paradise," including the "Joseph Sold into Slavery" panel, marked a significant departure from the Gothic style of the era, embracing the principles of proportion, balance, and naturalism that would come to define the Renaissance. The doors were highly influential in their time and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance. The original panels, including "Joseph Sold into Slavery," have been removed to protect them from the elements and are now displayed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence, with replicas installed in their place at the Baptistery.
